Professional organizations for teachers have a set of standards for establishing high-quality classroom environments. These standards indicate that the classroom environment should support:

A. children's honest expression and thinking, displays of children’s work, autonomy for infants and toddlers, and children’s feeling of ownership.
B. children’s feeling of ownership, autonomy for infants and toddlers, displays of children’s work, and varied experiences through learning centers.
C. assessment of children’s work, displays of children’s work, children’s feeling of ownership, and children’s honest expression and thinking.
D. displays of children’s work, teacher-directed activity centers, children’s feeling of ownership, and assessment of children’s work.
B?

You still didn't answer my previous question! For which grade levels?

"infants and toddlers" -- ??

My middle school social studies classrooms displayed very little student work. Instead, it displayed timelines, maps, and pictures pertaining to our geography and history.

My high school classrooms didn't have student work, either. I used art prints from different eras, as well as having a small section for school and class announcements.

To determine the correct answer, let's look at the options provided and break down each one:

A. children's honest expression and thinking, displays of children’s work, autonomy for infants and toddlers, and children’s feeling of ownership.

B. children’s feeling of ownership, autonomy for infants and toddlers, displays of children’s work, and varied experiences through learning centers.

C. assessment of children’s work, displays of children’s work, children’s feeling of ownership, and children’s honest expression and thinking.

D. displays of children’s work, teacher-directed activity centers, children’s feeling of ownership, and assessment of children’s work.

The standards for establishing high-quality classroom environments involve creating an environment that is conducive to learning, promotes children's development, and encourages their active participation. Let's analyze each option in light of these principles:

Option A includes elements like children's honest expression and thinking, displays of children's work, autonomy for infants and toddlers, and children's feeling of ownership. These are important aspects of a high-quality classroom environment that promotes children's development and active participation.

Option B includes children's feeling of ownership, autonomy for infants and toddlers, displays of children's work, and varied experiences through learning centers. These elements also align with the principles of a high-quality classroom environment.

Option C includes assessment of children's work, displays of children's work, children's feeling of ownership, and children's honest expression and thinking. While assessment is an important aspect of evaluating children's progress, it is not explicitly mentioned in the question as a criterion for a high-quality classroom environment. Therefore, option C may not fully address the question.

Option D includes displays of children's work, teacher-directed activity centers, children's feeling of ownership, and assessment of children's work. Similar to Option C, the inclusion of teacher-directed activity centers may not align with the principles of allowing for children's autonomy and varied experiences.

Considering the above analysis, Option B, which includes children's feeling of ownership, autonomy for infants and toddlers, displays of children's work, and varied experiences through learning centers, appears to be the most comprehensive and accurate answer. Therefore, the correct answer is B.
